[EAN: 9780297830863], Near Fine, [PU: Weidenfeld and Nicholson, london], Jacket, A very clean copy which feels unread. The earliest known inhabitant of Britain was a 6-foot hunter known as 'Boxgrove Man' who lived 500,000 years ago. A 9,000 year old skeleton discovered in a cave in the Cheddar Gorge has direct descendants living in the immediate area today.The diverse peoples of Britain and Ireland are revealed not only by physical characteristics but also through structures and settlements, place names and dialects. Using the latest genetic and archaeological research, the author shows how different peoples traded, settled and conquered, establishing the 'tribal' and regional roots still apparent today. Its vast scope considers the impact of prehistoric peoples and Celtic tribes, Romans and Vikings, Saxons and Normans, Jews and Huguenots, as well as the increasing population movements of the last century., Books<
